Ricochet Server Hosting, Explained
New to Ricochet?
What is Ricochet?
Ricochet is a futuristic action game from Valve that challenges your agility as well as your aim. It began in 2000 as a free Half-Life mod. Each arena is a set of floating platforms, and players cross between them on speed-booster tiles while throwing discs that knock opponents off the platforms. A kill made by bouncing a disc off the beams around the map scores more. Matches are short, one-on-one or in teams, and a small group of regulars still plays, often on community nights.
Aim and Agility.
Bank discs off the beams, dodge between platforms and knock rivals off their platforms.
Short Matches.
Quick one-on-one duels and team matches across futuristic arenas.
Why rent a server?
What is Ricochet Server Hosting?
Public Ricochet servers are often empty, so friends and community groups run their own. A dedicated server keeps your arena online without anyone leaving a game open, ready for your next match night. With Physgun it deploys in minutes, with the start map, max players, game version and passwords in the panel, match rules in the config editor, AMX Mod X one click away, and full file access over SFTP and SSH.
Always Online.
Your arena stays up when you log off, so a match is ready when your group is.
Full Control.
Set your map, match rules and passwords, and play vanilla or with AMX Mod X.
